"I have fun with it and I haven't forgotten where I come from," she told the magazine, jokingly adding, "Sometimes someone at a party will make a big deal like `I went to school in France' and I think, `Whatever! I'm here sipping the same champagne as you!'"

"He opens his eyes every day with a smile," she said of Forest as a dad. "If he's got just a three-day break from filming, he'll fly home even if it's just for a day and a half."

For his part, Forest—who has not publicly addressed Keisha's passing at this time—has also previously spoken about the then-couple's at-home dynamic. 

"I'm not a tough love guy," he told Parade in 2009 of parenthood. "To be honest, my wife is much stronger with the kids than I am. They come to me when they're trying to slip something by. I have to always take a pause, when they come and say, 'Hey Dad, is it OK if we do this?' So I just look at them like, 'Have you talked to your mom about that?' They know I'm the easy one."
